Re: Drone success rate worse than terrorist targets
Perhaps Amir Mir needs to go back and check what his own paper has written about death toll in drone attacks. He claims from a “report” that only 14 Al-Qaeda and 687 “innocent” Pakistanis have been killed. Perhaps he considers the Taliban as “innocent” Pakistanis …
First drone attack in Kurram kills 26
US spy planes on Monday carried out the first-ever attack in the Kurram tribal region, killing 26 suspected militants and seriously injuring several others, official sources said.
The tribal militants, belonging to Sadda town, told The News they were later permitted to visit the area after the retrieval of all the bodies from the rubble of the two buildings. Villagers said they saw 30 coffins being shifted by the Taliban to an unknown destination in several pick-up trucks. They said seven critically-injured militants were admitted to a hospital in Sadda.
Two senior Taliban commanders told The News on telephone that 18 of their colleagues had been killed in the US attack on the two houses. They said seven of their people were injured and admitted to a hospital.
As you can see from the “The News” report the Taliban are caliming 18 of their “collegues” killed (i can take an educated guess on who their “collecgues” are … can you !!!) … also the news claims that the villages said 30 were killed. So as per the News report anywhere between 18-30 “militants” were killed. Tell me now are tehy “innocent” Pakistanis !!! Perhaps mr. Mir should have read his own paper and not some shadowy “Pakistani” authority !!!
